I was really inspired by this article http://www.theolympian.com/home/new...ing/26150.shtml I read it in the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday. I had heard somewhere that she Low Carbed. Anyone know?

It says in the article

Sounds like low carb to me!!

It may be lower carb, but on shows I've seen she definitly pushes the low fat belief! I've heard her at least once make a disparing comment about Atkins.

There was one show where she was discussing being on a low carb diet but gave it up because she said "I just gotta eat bread" .

Were they recent shows? She looks great, that's for sure. I wonder if just exercising and watching the carb intake - cutting out white flour, rice, refined junk foods, french fries, etc. would be enough. My hunch is that is probably the way to go - no quick weight loss but it should be lasting.

Yes it works, that's exactly how I lost the weight. I just cut out all white and refined foods and lost 10 lbs right away, just as Oprah did. And it was very quick, all in one month. However I haven't lost any more since then, but then I haven't started on an excersice program either

Angeline, interesting
Before I started Atkins I had blimped up to 188 I think. It was when I quit smoking a year and a half ago. I exercised like crazy for a few months and dropped a lot of weight right away.

Now I have been exercising pretty regularly at home, and I am noticing I look a lot better in the mirror, but the pounds are not dropping.
